In order to accept Bank Transfer and Credit Card payments from invoices you email to customers, you need an active QuickBooks Payments merchant account and payment options enabled in QuickBooks.

(If you already have Intuit Payments merchant account you will need to verify if it’s attached to your QuickBooks Online company.)

1. Click on the Gear (⚙) icon at the top right corner of the QBO homepage.
2. Select Account and Company Settings under Your Company tab.
3. Select Payments on the left-hand side.
4. Ensure you have an active payments account.

If QuickBooks Online is not enabled for payments you will have a green “Learn more” button and “Finish setup” button. Use the appropriate button to sign up for payments or connect an existing account.
If QuickBooks payments setup is already enabled you will see Manage Details button.

Merchant Fee: It’s a flat $0.50 (YES, FIFTY CENTS) per bank transfer payment. No dollar limit on how much that transaction is. On credit card payment, they charge +-3.% on the transaction amount. So, on $1,000 invoice, you can actually save $30.00 merchant fee. That’s huge!
